"Come on, top off afore you bleed out everywhere."
V'rhowa's tone is light but the lash of his tail betrays his worry. One claw is hooked into G'raha's sleeve to show that he's unlikely to be dissuaded.

is there because of you. Those people get to live their lives because of you."

V'rhowa clicks his tongue, his expression fond even as he sighs. He tilts his head to look out the window over the Crystarium, watching the lights and distant figures of people going about their lives. "I can cerrrtainly start listing off achievements, but we can begin with the obvious. All that-

The bed is more ideal but the couch is closer, and V'rhowa finds himself rather tired after a long day and a few sleepless nights as well. He settles himself laying down and adjusts G'raha to rest on top of him, head tucked under his chin. "Rest forrr as long as you need to."

At first V'rhowa wants to scold, but it's always so hard to do so once he has G'raha bundled in his arms with how relaxed and soft the other Miqo'te looks. He rumbles a laugh and tilts his head just enough to plant a kiss between G'raha's ears. "Well let's rrrest your eyes somewhere comfortable hm?"

V'rhowa looks the Exarch over for a moment, studying what he can see of the man's face. There's a brief look of hesitation, then it's gone and he's flashing his usual bright grin. "Really, no need to worry. I've managed farrr worse! I'm sure the lord Exarch has far more things to worry about."

"You make me proud, you know that right?"
V'rhowa had given up trying to read a while ago, now just leaned forward in his seat with his chin resting his hands as he watches G'raha work.

He's the type that if woken up that's it, he's fully awake and can't go back to sleep. Which can be a blessing when he's needed in the morning and a curse if he's woken up by a nightmare.

"I'm doing fine, no need to worry. I can continue the mission with no problem, I'm just taking a brief break."

"In prrresence, not in stature." V'rhowa teases. He leans back lazily in his chair, one long leg tucking under him while the other splays out to casually invade the space of the Exarch's chair. Just a little ways from brushing their legs together.

V'rhowa's hummed 'mhm' is entirely unconvinced. Luckily for the Exarch, V'rhowa doesn't press, just smirks knowingly and gestures to the chair across from him. "Was there perhaps another reason to come and loom over me then?"

"Why are you so jealous?" V'rhowa asks in amusement, watching the red-haired Mystel that had been flirting with him make his excuses and hurry off. Amber eyes turn to study the Exarch, a mischievous glimmer to them.

"Any I desire huh?"V'rhowa tilts his head, looking G'raha over with a wicked grin. Then his expression softens and he leans down to take G'raha's hands, lifting them so he can press a kiss to each palm, flesh and then crystal. "As long as it's you I will be beyond happy with even the smallest touch"
